DK's Frost Dragon facet reduces Chemical Rage's healing substantially, which is Alch's main defensive tool. Additionally, he can reduce his overall damage output greatly with Breather Fire and Frost Dragon and provides reliable lockdown with Dragon Tail. His strong early game allows him to match Alch's strong early game better than most heroes.
